This month, the lake reached its lowest recorded level.

Under surface ice in frozen freshwater lakes, certain forms of life are far more active than scientists suspected.

Enough water to fill a great lake has been found locked in the molten rock beneath a Bolivian volcano.

During the rainy fall and winter, most Oregonians probably don't give much thought to Lost Lake, a shallow 85-acre (0.34 square kilometers) lake surrounded by pine trees that sits near a highway.

With high-resolution satellite data and supercomputers to check every cloudless pixel, researchers now have the best count yet of lakes on Earth.
